Chapter 22 Xavier School for Geniuses

"Professor, you can't be blamed for this. You didn't do it on purpose.

Just like what you told us, it also applies to you."

Wolverine sighed and comforted him.

Back then, the reason why mutants were feared by humans was that a small number of them used their abilities to commit crimes.

Most of the time, it was because when mutants began to show their abilities, they were unable to control their abilities due to their inner fear, which led to the involvement of their relatives, friends and innocent people around them.

Every time these mutant children were taken to school, the professor would give them psychological counseling so that they could muster up the courage to live again.

In fact, the professor was just like those children. Because of epilepsy, his brain lost control, and such a tragedy happened. He felt more pain than anyone else.

"I'm not a child. Since I made a mistake, I have to bear it.

I can't make up for the dead, I can only find a way to make the living live better."

The professor looked at the group of children in front of him and smiled again.

If he hadn't seen these children and had hope in his heart, he would probably never be able to face his painful memories and would have been in a daze until his death.

"But professor, so many years have passed, the school may have been taken away by the government a long time ago."

At this time, George spoke up.

The location of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters is indeed good. It is located in the suburbs of the Bronx, New York. It is not too remote, but it is also a distance away from Manhattan, where many incidents occur.

Even if the Chitauri invade, it will not spread there.

The most important thing is that, according to his understanding, the Bronx is the most chaotic district in New York, which is located in the northernmost part of New York. It is mainly inhabited by African and Latin American descendants.

If Hell's Kitchen is the most chaotic place in Manhattan, a wealthy area, then the Bronx is the most chaotic place in New York.

There are all kinds of gangs, and the crime rate is one of the highest in the United States.

Such a place is just right for him to make money in troubled waters. Even if he kills someone, it will not attract the attention of the government.

However, after so many years, how could such a big castle still be empty?

Professor X wiped his tears and explained:

"Although I am wanted, it is not an open one. The government does not want to make a big deal out of it, and there is not enough evidence to arrest me.

So my identity is still there, and most of my assets are still there, including the castle.

It's just that I can't show up, and I can't use any assets, otherwise the government can follow those clues to find and arrest me..."

"I see."

George is not clear about this, but after Professor X's explanation, he can roughly understand it.

Professor X's identity is secretly the principal of the mutant school, but in public he is the heir of the famous Xavier family, a real big capitalist.

If you say it, it is more influential than the Stark Group in some aspects.

The rise of the Stark Group is mainly due to Tony's father Howard, who was not actually a big group before.

But the Xavier family is a noble family with a long history, with a long inheritance and deep roots.

Without solid evidence, arresting the heir of the Xavier family and confiscating all the property of the Xavier family will make all the old capitalists feel a sense of crisis.

Because you can raid the Xavier family without evidence today, and you can find a reason to raid them tomorrow, and everyone will be in danger.

And can the government produce solid evidence that the professor killed people?

Of course not. The professor has epilepsy and his brain is out of control. He directly killed the people around him with mental power. Even in the surveillance, everyone suddenly collapsed and died. There is no way to prove that it was the professor who killed them.

On the other hand, we have to consider the negative impact. If it is confirmed that the professor who helped the government deal with crises many times before and was received and awarded by the president many times killed so many people at once.

Then the government will also be responsible, and its influence will decline, and even the president will be greatly affected.

So at that time, they could only arrest and detain secretly, and could not put it in the open, and even the whole incident was deliberately downplayed.

"If so, it's really a good choice."

George thought carefully and approved Professor X's proposal.

The Westchester incident happened 25 years ago, in 1984, when Tony Stark was only 15 years old and had just entered the undergraduate program of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Captain Marvel Carol Danvers had not yet become a pilot, Nick Fury was just an ordinary SHIELD agent, and Star Lord Peter Quill was only six years old and his mother was still alive.

So perhaps no one really cared about the mutant school being empty there.

It is estimated that the police sent by the government to search at that time could not even find the basement under the school.

"I have no objection, as long as the children are safe."

Gabriela also raised her hand in agreement. He thought that since the professor and George thought it was feasible, there should be no problem.

She was just a Mexican nurse with shallow knowledge. What she had to do was to take good care of the children, not to express her opinions randomly. She knew her position very well.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Wolverine no longer objected.

In fact, he wanted to go to the school again, because it was his spiritual harbor.

As for Caliban, he went wherever the professor and Wolverine were, not caring about the specific place.

So the truck changed direction and drove all the way to New York.

Because there were too many children and none of them had identities, they did not go into the city along the way, but just bought supplies in some small towns along the way, and drove to remote places to rest when they were tired.

After two days, they finally arrived in the Bronx in northern New York.

Perhaps because he faced himself, the professor's condition improved a little. Although he could not use his abilities as before, it was no problem to occasionally affect the thinking of ordinary people.

This also made their journey much smoother.

During the period, in order to prevent being tracked, they also changed trucks many times.

Sell the truck to a second-hand market, and then go to another second-hand market to buy a different model of second-hand truck with a little money, and keep switching.

After arriving in the Bronx, they did not go directly to the school where the professor's four garden castles were transformed, but George and Wolverine disguised themselves and went to find out the bottom first.

The situation was indeed as the professor expected. It had been empty and unoccupied. It was just that the castle had been uninhabited for a long time and looked much more dilapidated.

After making sure that the school was safe, they took the children and quietly entered the school at night and lived in the basement of the castle.

The basement of the castle had two floors. In addition to the professor's brain wave amplification room and the former X-Men training room, there were more than a dozen vacant rooms. Everyone could make do and live there.
